Within the same distinctive rings as the obverse the following:

Size, 42 mm.
A beautiful, heavy coin made of copper. A Russian who saw this coin said
that he'd never seen one in such superb shape. He was told in Russia that
a coin like this would buy a small farm at the time it was struck. The edge
is reeded in a herringbone pattern.
